Life, sets my translation of the poem A Vida by Brazilian poet Olavo Bilac (1865-1918), a poet I discovered while studying Brazilian Portuguese at the University of Michigan. I was drawn both to the simplicity of the text and to the possibilities of teasing out dual contrasting moods. In the beginning and end, this song explores a texture that is very much alive: wave-like contours, throbbing sounds, and plenty of flowing movement. Rising eighth-note motives in particular emphasize the fleetingness of life. But in the middle of the song, the listener is given a slowed-down atmosphere to savor lifes beauty.\n\u003cbr\u003e30-Licence Download\n\u003cbr\u003eThis is a choral download sold with a licence to make up to 30 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46704011247778,"sku":"DSM-FB-40424","price":43.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1279\/2287\/files\/e031a579-3819-4706-92fc-56aac99cf009.jpg?v=1774398656","url":"https:\/\/www.adlibmusic.com.au\/products\/life-from-of-time-and-passing-satb-choral-octavo-digital-download","provider":"Adlib Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
